In the school system,
badly based relationships and friendships are considered especially
heinous. In Brash Falls, the dedicated students who investigate these
vicious offenses are members of an elite group of friends known as
the High School Unit. These are their stories.Chapter One:
Introducing Law and Order: High School UnitEighteen-year-old
Olivia Benson sat tapping her pen in increasing speed upon her desk
during her third period U.S History class. Olivia was an average
student, getting 90's to 100's in the classes she liked and
getting 80's to 90's in classes that she wasn't all that
interested in. U.S History class was one of Olivia's favorite
classes she liked learning about history and her country. A plus was
that her teacher, Mr. Morris, always brought laughter into his
lessons and got everyone to be a part of the class. Morris' classes
could always make Olivia smile even on a bad day but today was
different. Today Olivia was bored as hell and her mind was elsewhere.

Sighing, Olivia leaned
her head on her left hand and tried to pay attention but to no avail
she found herself daydreaming. She looked down at her notes that Mr.
Morris had passed out and began doodling on Ferdinand Magellan's
face. When Magellan's face was completely black she found herself
writing her name in large block letters down the side of her notes.
As she was doodling a folded piece of paper slid on to her desk from
her left. She looked down at the paper and then over to where she
assumed the paper came from. Her best friend, Eliot Stabler, sat
looking as if he was paying attention but Liv knew better. Eliot
Stabler never paid attention and usually just asked her to
'summarize' the class for him. Olivia picked up the slip of paper
stealthily so Mr. Morris wouldn't catch her.

"Hey, what's up
with you? You look bored and you're never bored in class. What's
got you so down?" The note read.

Olivia frowned, picked
up her pen and wrote back, "Nothing just bored. I know, I know I'm
never bored in class but I am today. My mom was a bitch this morning
and made me late today, she just had to call to "check up on me".
It's nothing really. Promise." She passed the note back to Eliot
and tried to look as if she was paying attention.

Eliot took the note
from Olivia's hand and subtly opened the note so Mr. Morris
wouldn't see it. He read it and looked over to Liv with a
disbelieving look on his face. He picked up his pen and scribbled
back a response. "Ok. I believe ya then, I was just checkin'.
You're like my sister I gotta look out for you."

He passed the note back
to Liv, she read the response and smiled. Eliot was like a big
brother to her, her only family, she was extremely grateful to have
him around. "Thanks, man. You're like a bro to me too. I love
ya!" She handed the note back to Eliot, just as the note left her
fingers she felt someone bump her desk. She looked up to see her
other best friend, Kate Rayne, looking subtly over her shoulder at
her. She whispered to Olivia, "Watch it, Morris is watching you
two." Kate turned back around and went back to what Olivia assumed
was writing a note to Addison, her girlfriend. Olivia spared a glance
at Eliot and saw him tuck the note into his books; she turned back to
the front of the class to make it look like she was paying attention.
When Morris looked away and directed something to another student
Olivia leant forward and tapped Kate on the shoulder. When Kate
tilted her head back toward Olivia a little, Liv whispered a 'Thanks'
and Kate shrugged in response.

Olivia shook her head a
small smile playing on her lips. She was extremely grateful to have
Eliot, his girlfriend: Kathy, Kate, and her girlfriend: Addison, and
a few others as her friends. They were like the family God forgot to
give her. She'd known Elliot since they were both a month old,
their moms were good friends so it was only natural the their kids be
the best of friends. Their mothers were so close that when the
Stabler's had to move when Eliot was eleven because Mr. Stabler had
been accepted as a Trooper upstate in Brash Falls, Olivia and her mom
followed. It was two years later, in eighth grade, that the two met
Kate on her first day. Olivia chuckled at the thought. Kate had been
on the playground watching some of the guys and Olivia play catch
with a football. The ball had rolled over to Kate who picked it up
and threw it what must have been 50 yards to Eliot in a perfect
spiral, it blew everyone away. Olivia was the first to speak and
she'd asked Kate if she wanted to play flag football after school
that day. Kate had agreed and since that moment the three had been
the best of friends. It was in ninth grade, a year later, that Eliot
and Kate met their 'dream girls'. Kathy for Eliot and Addison for
Kate, Olivia was happy for them.

Olivia and Kate were
probably the two most inseparable people in the world (next to Olivia
and Eliot that is). They told each other everything, hung out
non-stop, and had the same sense of adventure. The same sense of
adventure that usually ended with them in some sort trouble that Kate
would somehow manage to get them out of. The girls became closer when
Kate was sixteen and her parents threw her out after they found that
Kate and Addison were more then friends. Olivia had become the only
person besides Addison that she could talk to. Kate's parents were
not happy to say the least and refused to have a 'dyke' daughter
as they put it. They told her to leave Addison to which Kate refused
so they told her to get out and never show her face near them. Kate
was more then happy to oblige and moved in with Addison, her mom and
older brother. Since then she hasn't regretted leaving her parents.
Olivia could tell that for once in her life after all the shit she
went through Kate was finally happy. In return Kate had been there
for Olivia when she need someone to talk to or a shoulder to cry on
when she couldn't go to Eliot or God forbid her mom.

Though Kate and Eliot
were Olivia's best friends she had other really good friends too.
John or as everyone called "Munch", Serena, Odafin or "Fin",
Kathy, and Addison. Put all of them together and they were one great
big family.

Olivia was disturbed
from her musings by the classroom door opening. She looked up to see
principal Davison. Olivia liked Principal Davison she was a lot nicer
and easier to talk to then the schools old Principal, Mrs. Raymond.
When a student went to Mrs. Davison with a problem or a concern
Davison did something about it. Plus she always tried to make school
a lot more fun. She put in cooler after school programs, giving the
seniors an even cooler lounge this year. A lounge equipped with a
playstation, xbox, and Nintendo, plus wireless Internet for laptops.
All in all Principal Davison rocked!

Olivia turned her
attention back to the principal just as a beautiful blonde walked in.
She was obviously new since Olivia had never seen her before and
Olivia knew everyone that stepped into the school. Olivia's jaw
dropped and her eye's went wide the girl was absolutely gorgeous.
It wasn't secret that Olivia was attracted to girls. Kate, Addison,
and Serena weren't the only lesbians at Lawrence High, Olivia just
preferred to stay out of the spotlight and not broadcast it to the
school. If someone asked her if she liked girls or if she was gay
Olivia would kindly reply that she did or was but to please keep it
under wraps and everyone listened to her. Olivia Benson and her group
of friends were not ones to mess with. Unlike Kate, though, Olivia
didn't have a girlfriend It wasn't that she couldn't get one oh
she could she had plenty of attractive girls falling at her just none
that Olivia found she could have a connection with. Don't get her
wrong she'd been on many a date but they usually turned out to be
one time deals nothing more. After a while she got sick of it and
just stopped dating. Stating, "the day a girl walks in front of me
and my jaw drops, I can't think straight and I can make this
connection with her without saying a word to her is the day I'll
pick dating back up. Until then no more dates for Olivia Benson."

Olivia shook her head
to chase away her thoughts and looked back to the front of the room
just as Mrs. Davison spoke. "Everyone this is Alexandra Cabot,
she's just moved here so please make her feel at home and welcome."
No we're gonna make her hate it here. Geez were in 12th
grade not 9th. Olivia chided to herself. She then
smiled at the girl's name, Alexandria. It fits her. Mrs.
Davison turned back to Alexandria and said, "If you have any
problems please feel free to come speak with me or ask a student and
see if they can help you." The blonde nodded and gave the principal
a bright smile. "Great. This is Mr. Morris I'm sure he'll
introduce you to everyone in the class. Now I must be going, remember
any problems feel free to come see me." And with that Mrs. Davison
waved to the class and left.

Mr. Morris turned to
Alexandria, "Its nice to meet you Alexandria. If you'd like to
take a seat there's a free one right behind Miss Benson." Alex
nodded politely and walked towards the free desk. As she passed
Olivia she gave the brunette a small smile. Olivia's heart stopped
and her stomach flipped at the blonde's smile. What the hell! I
just met this girl and already she's got this effect on me.

"Alright, ladies and
gents the rest of class in yours please stay in your seat and don't
sit on my desks. Thank you." Mr. Morris walked to the back of his
room and picked up something before walking over to Alex. "If you
could please fill this out with your name, Parent or Guardian name,
address, phone number," He asked. Alex took the card and searched
her pockets for a pen. One appeared from the desk in front of her,
she took it and looked up into chocolate brown eyes. The dark husky
eyes memorized her for a few moments before she whispered a 'thanks.'
"No problem," Olivia replied with a soft smile. Filling out an
index card for Morris was normal, this way if he ever had to contact
your parents or anything he could without you knowing. Alex finished
filling the card out; Morris took it and went back to his desk to
file the card in with the classes. Alex handed Olivia back her pen
and their hands brushed slightly. "Thanks again," Alex said.
Olivia nodded and winked at the blonde before turning around to put
her pen in her bag.

Eliot was the first to
turn to Alex and engage in an introduction to the blonde. "So Alex,
can we call you Alex?" Alex nodded while glancing over to Olivia
who'd turned back around and was watching the blonde a slight smile
playing upon her lips. "Cool. I just thought I'd introduce myself
and my band of friends. I'm Eliot Stabler, proud quarterback of the
school's football team." Before he could continue the brunette,
whom Alex didn't know her name yet, interrupted him. "Oh come off
it, El. You maybe MVP but one, the football team sucks and two, Kate
can throw a football farther then you." Olivia shook her head and
turned her attention to the blonde. "I'm Olivia Benson but
everyone calls me Liv. That's Kate Rayne." Kate looked up for a
second and gave a short wave to the blonde. "That's Serena
Southerlyn." Serena looked up at Alex and smiled. "And that's
Munch and Fin." Liv hiked a thumb over her should to the two guys
sitting in front of her arguing about something, both looked up at
the sound of their names and waved. "Fin's on the football team
with El and Munch helps run the library."

"Its nice to meet you
all. I have to admit I was a little nervous about coming today."
Alex shyly looked away from the group.

"Awe, don't worry
nothing bad'll happen if you stick with us. It's a small town and
a small school so there's small problems that's about it."
Eliot reassured the blonde.

Just then the bell rang
and everyone ushered themselves out the door. Olivia waited just
outside the door for the blonde. She'd decided that she could be
nice to the blonde and show her around on her first day and let her
hang with them. Just as Alex had stepped out the door and looked over
the crowd of students she saw Olivia striding towards her. Olivia was
only about 3 feet away when the Queen of all Bitches, Abbie
Carmichael, stepped up to Alex. Olivia immediately backed off and
frowned. Shit! There was no way in hell Olivia was going to
approach Alex now not even to help her out, not with Carmichael
there. Olivia and Abbie had a history that Olivia dare not remember.
It was quite painful and saddening, therefore Liv stayed far away
from Abbie and her little group. Olivia shook her head and looked
downcast, once Alex was in with Abbie there was no way out unless you
really pissed her off. Olivia looked at Alex one last time and found
the blonde looking right at her, her eyes pleading that Olivia would
continue towards her. Olivia looked away and started down the hall
toward the cafeteria. Olivia maybe the toughest kid to step into
Lawrence High but when it came to Abbie Carmichael Olivia became a
scared little girl. Abbie was the only person in the school that
Olivia feared but this year things were going to change.

As Liv walked past Alex
and Abbie the blonde gave her a friendly smile and locked eyes with
her. Liv was the first to look away; she spared a glance at Abbie and
found the dark hair girl giving her an ice-y glare. Olivia dropped
her eyes to the ground and quickly walked past and to her study hall.
Abbie looked back to the blonde with a smile plastered on her face
showing off her perfectly white and straight teeth. "You're Alex
Cabot the new girl right?"

"Yeah, word gets
around fast huh." Alex stated rolling her eyes. She desperately
wanted to tell the brunette bimbo to go away so she could go find
Olivia and them. They seemed much nicer then this group of preps.
Plus Olivia and her friends looked like they were the type to know
how to have fun. Alex rethought that; she wanted to fit and have a
good final school year. Alex took a deep breath and the plunge; she
looked up to Abbie and smiled.

"Cool. I'm Abbie,
this is Casey, Melinda, and Jack." Abbie said with enthusiasm and a
white smile. "So what's your next class?"

"Uh," Alex looked
down at her schedule and read what she had fourth period. "Study
hall in the cafeteria."

"Great you can sit
with us then and we'll introduce you to everyone."

Alex grimaced; she
really didn't like Abbie so why in the hell was she agreeing to
hanging out with her. She once again considered the invitation and
decided that she was going to turn it down. "Actually I planned on
sitting with Olivia Benson and her friends they seemed nice enough."

A look of horror past
across Abbie's face and she stared at Alex. Suddenly Alex realized
that Abbie and her click didn't like Olivia and that she had made a
rather large mistake by saying the girl's name. "Oh you do not I
repeat do not want to sit with those pieces of garbage. You'll sit
with us got it." Abbie replied forcibly with a look that said 'do
not piss me off.' Alex nodded stiffly just a little bit scared of
the tall brunette that was now standing over her.

"Ok. I'll uh sit
with you then." Alex replied in fear, Abbie nodded and brushed past
Alex towards the cafeteria with her posse in tow. Alex followed a few
moments later. She ran though all the possible ways of getting away
from Abbie so she could hang out with Olivia. Finally she decided to
just wait and see what happens in study hall.

Olivia walked in to her
study hall in a bad mood. She walked over to her table where Eliot
sat with Kathy in his lap, Kate and Addison were practically all over
each other with their little displays of affection, Fin and Munch
were playing cards, and Serena was quietly working on her art
homework. Olivia dropped her books on the table with a loud 'thud'
that caused everyone to jump, Fin and Munch's cards to go flying,
and Serena to mess up her drawing. They all glared up at her and she
returned the glare ten fold, they squirmed under the look and went
back to what they were doing. Olivia pulled out a chair flipped it
around and sat so she was straddling it, she rest her chin on her
folder hands upon the back of the chair.

"Hey, what's up
with you Luscious?" Kate asked taking her attention off Addison for
a moment.

Liv shrugged and
reached forward for her Law class books, she flipped the book open
along with her notebook and tried to make it look like she was
studying. "Hey. Where's Alex? I thought you were gonna wait for
her?" Eliot asked.

"Yeah well we don't
have to go worrying about Alex anymore, Carmichael got to her. Lost
another one, figures," Olivia snidely replied.

"Hey now the same
thing happened to Serena and Addy on their first day," Kate stated.
"Now look at 'em." She continued, "Their day isn't complete
without us." Addison and Serena both looked up at Kate with a look
that said 'oh really is that what you think'. Kate caught the
looks, "What?! Ok then why did you really decide to come hang out
with us then? Hmm."

Before either could
reply Munch spoke up, "well its obvious why Addison left. Hello!
She had a huge crush on Kate so Abbie threw her out. And we all know
why Abbie hates Kate." Everyone nodded in agreement.

"And Serena left
willingly 'cause she likes Liv and didn't like the fact that she
had to be a bitch to her so she could fit in. Love conquers all,
'eh." Stabler and everyone laughed.

"I'm still in the
room you know! I can hear you thank you!" Serena growled.

"Eliot, guys, shut up
ok." Olivia said strained and without looking up from her textbook.
Eliot huffed and went back to cuddling with Kathy as Kate went back
to giving Addison all her attention.

"You actually think
Alex would want to hang with Abbie? I mean yeah she seems like an ice
queen but not an all out bitch like Abbie and them." Fin asked.

"Remember Casey
Novak?" Kate asked and Fin nodded. "Well we said the same thing
about her and she seemed just like how Alex was when we first met
her. And where's Novak now and how's she like. Get the point
now."

"Looks can be
deceiving, babe you know that." Addison spoke up for the first
time. "Look at Liv and Kate for instance. First time you see them
or meet them you see two butch bad-assess right? You know always
wearing leather or tight clothes, or in Kate's case baggy clothes.
They have all this attitude and really hot rides, all that and your
first thought is 'oh great, bullies' but really they're not.
Once you get to know them, get past the attitude, the leather, the
badness, and the walls you find they're just like everyone else.
They're nice, compassionate, loyal, and friendly but above all
they're hot!" The last part directed at Kate with a sexy smile.
The brunette leaned up and captured Addison's lips in a kiss.
"Thanks baby you're hot too." Kate replied as she pulled back.
The dirty blonde haired girl giggled resting her forehead on Kate's
leather clad shoulder and brushing her lips across the girl's
throat causing Kate to moan quietly.

"Oh will you two get
a fricken room! We do not need to see this!" Serena barked in an
annoyed tone since she was the only one that could hear Kate's soft
moan because she was sitting next to the two hormonal teens.

"You're just
jealous, Ser." Kate shot back.

"Oh and what's
there to be jealous about, Katherine?"

"Oh you so didn't
not just call me by my first name! Playing dirty now are we Serena
Jean Southerlyn." Kate chuckled at Serena's obvious disgusted
that her middle name was mentioned in Kate retort. "You're just
upset that I got my girl and you didn't. You went through all that
harassment by Carmichael just to have Liv turn you down, didn't
even give you one date. I'm sorry."

Serena's face turned
beat red in anger and she gritted her teeth, it was taking a lot to
not jump up and hit Kate. Olivia intervened, "You two stop! Most
especially you, Kate. Stop antagonizing her ok just leave 'Rena
alone." Olivia softly smiled at Serena who returned the smiled and
turned back to her work. Kate immediately shut up and went back to
holding her girlfriend. She'd pissed Olivia off once and she most
certainly did not want to do it again, accidentally or intentionally.

"Hey guys look who it
is." Eliot gestured to the cafeteria door just as Abbie and her
group walked in with Alex following behind and not looking all that
enthused to be there. Olivia glanced up and caught Alex's eyes. Liv
could see the blonde's pained and desperate for rescue look. Their
eyes locked for a few moments before Olivia looked away. Alex had
chosen to be friends with Abbie and with them then it was Alex's
own fault.

"She doesn't look
to happy about being with them." Serena stated.

"Maybe-" Munch
started but was abruptly stopped by Olivia. "No! I will not put up
with hearing about your Maybes, Conspiracies, theories, or any other
cryptical logic or illogical stuff that comes to that weird mind of
yours! I'm not in the mood, got it!" Munch nodded in slight fear,
"That's not what I was gonna say-"

"I don't care! Shut
up!" Olivia snapped and turned back to her notes. Out of the corner
of her eye Olivia could see the blonde and the bitch brigade. They
walked past her table towards their own table. As Alex walked past
she decided to stop and say hi, she nervously stepped up in between
where Olivia and Eliot sat. Olivia instantly felt her body tense at
the feel of the heat coming off the blonde. Part of her wanted
nothing more then to ask Alex to sit with them and to blow Abbie off
while the other part of her wanted to tell Alex to go away.

"Hi guys." Alex
timidly waved. She was hoping one of them would ask her to sit with
them and save her from Abbie. Much to her dismay none of them looked
up or acknowledged she was there, she frowned sadly. She bit her lip
and looked down at Olivia, "Uh, Oliv-"

"Oh. My. God. What
are you doing?!" Abbie rushed to Alex and grabbed her arm, the
blonde looked startled and confused. "Do not talk to these, these
whatever they are! They're not worth a breath let alone a life.
C'mon Alex our table is over here." Abbie tugged Alex's arm in
the direction of the table. Then Kate's voice stopped her, "Is
that how you treat your old friends, Abigail. Tell me, Abbie, been
with anyone since me? I'm really hoping you leaned how to….
perform. I doubt Jack would want someone as…inexperienced as you."

Abbie clenched her jaw
in bubbling anger. "You're worthless, Katherine. No mother's
love, no daddy's little girl, no wonder you became the dyke that
you are." Abbie had turned to Kate and directed every harsh word
that left her mouth at the shorthaired girl. Kate glared right back
at Abbie with anger showing in her eyes and her whole body tense in
anger. "No wonder your parents threw you out, you above all them
are not worth it. Oh no I take that back you and Oliver here aren't
worth a life." Abbie challenged Kate to speak up with her eyes,
when she got no response she smirked and leaned down to whisper in
Olivia's ear. "Rapists daughter."

Something in Olivia
snapped she slammed her first on the table and stood fast causing her
chair to tip over. She whipped around to face Abbie who had a look of
disgust on her face. "Do not fuck with me, Carmichael! I will not
put up with it this year, now get the hell away from me before I do
something I might just not regret." She growled, her anger showing
on her face as she glared hard at Abbie. Abbie smirked a final time
before turning and walking away towards her table, leaving Alex alone
to face one irate Olivia. "Go!" The brunette growled at Alex.
"You're one of them, now get out of my face. This is the only
chance I'm giving you."

Pain flashed across
Alex's face, she stepped forward to place a claming hand on
Olivia's arm. She wanted to explain that she wanted nothing to do
with Abbie and her friends, that she really wanted to hang out with
her and her cool friends. As the blonde's hand touched Olivia's
arm the brunette flinched away and raised her fist in a threat and
growled, "I've never hit a girl before but at this point I won't
hesitate to. Now get away from me." Olivia lied, she would never
hit the beautiful blonde in front of her no matter how mad she was.
Plus she would never hit another girl unless the girl initiated it
but Alex didn't know that. Quickly the blonde snatched her hand
back as if it were burnt and tried to fight back the hurt in her
eyes. She turned sadly away and walked towards Abbie's table.
Olivia watched her go in anger; she shook her head and sat back down.
She liked the blonde a lot and wanted to hang out with her but she
was hurt that Alex decided to choose Abbie over her. Along with that
she had no idea what she was feeling for the blonde that she had met
only met last period. All in all it confused the hell out of her.

As Alex walked over to
Abbie's table she stopped part way there and thought of maybe
sitting somewhere else to show Olivia that she didn't want anything
to do with Abbie. Sighing heavily she shook her head and continued to
the table and took a seat across from an overly irate Abbie.

"Worthless pieces of
shit! Most especially Olivia! I cannot believe they actually allow
them in school." Abbie blew out frustrated.

"Ab, sweetheart stop
worrying they're not worth it." Jack tried to calm his raging
girlfriend who seemed to be on destruction mode as she ripped up a
piece of paper.

"They should lock up
people like them! They're the reason why the word's so bad I mean
look at them." Abbie gestured to the table of friends across the
lunch room. "I cannot believe the school actually allows those two
dykes to act like that in school. Its sickening!"

At these comments Alex
finally decided to speak up, quietly she asked, "What's so bad
about them? They seem nice enough."

"You mean they're
gay?" Alex softly asked in confusion and Abbie nodded
enthusiastically. "So," the blonde continued, "What's so bad
about that?" Alex looked nervous as she waited for a response from
Abbie. She was scared because Abbie was obviously homophobic and had
no problem talking about gays in a very rude way. She also knew there
was no way she could be friends with Abbie since she her self was a
lesbian. This added a large problem to Alex's first day and making
a good impression.

"They're a bunch of
homosexual sick-os! People like them should be locked up for their
sins it goes against all that's good, they're the reason the
world is so twisted!" Abbie growled. Wow, Alex thought,
total homophobe. I wonder if she realizes that she's saying the
same things over and over again. This is gonna be a huge problem but
there is no way in hell I'm gonna lie about who and what I am.
Alex calmly picked up her books and stood, she then addressed Abbie
calmly. "Well then Abbie we're going to have a problem." She
looked down at the brunette in disgust. "I'm a lesbian and
completely open and happy about it. I wish I could say it was a
pleasure meeting you but then I would be lying. See you around,
Carmichael." Shooting the dumbfounded brown haired girl a grin she
then turned a walked away from the table.

On the other side of
the cafeteria Kate was watching Abbie's table in interest when she
saw the blonde stand and address Abbie. What is she doing? Kate
mentally asked her self. She watched Alex turn and walk away from the
table after she had said something that had clearly pissed Abbie off.
Did she just do what I think she did? No way not possible. She
just blew off Abbie Carmichael! Damn, the bitch has balls I'll give
her that. Kate glared as she watched Alex walk towards their
table, the blonde stepped up next to Olivia. "What the hell do you
want, preppy? Your girls put you up to this? Come to start more shit
in an initiation, huh?"

"No! I came to see if
I could sit with you? Please?" Alex shyly asked biting her lip and
looking down to study her shoes.

Everyone but Olivia
snorted at the question, did she actually think they would let her
sit with them after she had hung out with Carmichael? "Why aren't
you with Abbie?" Olivia coolly asked without looking up at the
blonde next to her. She was still angry but didn't feel like
getting into another confrontation.

"Why's that?"
Olivia finally looked up at the blonde with curiosity and their eyes
locked. Olivia saw this as a chance that Alex could redeem herself
with them and become their friend instead of Carmichael's. Vainly
she hoped that Alex was being truthful and sincere.

"Cause I'm like
you." The blonde stated as she looked into the chocolate eyes of
the brunette.

Olivia's brows moved
in confusion and anger. "What the hell's that suppose to mean!
She put you up to this didn't she! What is this an initiation of
some sort? I can't believe this!" She yelled. She was pissed,
what the hell made her different from anyone else but made Alex just
like her. Olivia felt like she was being played and she most
certainly did not like that feeling.

Alex was desperate to
explain, "No! No, please let me explain! I'm being sincere I'm
not doing this to hurt you guys, I like you guys I just wanna be
friends with you not Abbie and that crowd of homophobes. When I said
that I was like you I mean…uh…I'm, uh…damn! I'm gay and
well Abbie is obviously a huge homophobe, I can't hang out with
her. You've all been really nice to me and I'm sorry I kinda blew
you off for Abbie I didn't mean to I just didn't know what to do.
I'm so sorry, I really wanna be friends with you. Please believe
me?" She desperately looked to everyone at the table before looking
back down at her shoes in embarrassment and fear of rejection.

Olivia studied the girl
for a moment looking for any flaw in her sincerity. She looked over
to Elliot and Kate to find them doing the same thing. She caught
Kate's eyes and the shorthaired brunette nodded, Liv then looked
over to Elliot who did the same. Olivia turned back to Alex she
looked past her and saw Abbie throwing a tantrum and pointing at
Alex. Olivia took that as a sign that the blonde was telling the
truth. She looked back to Alex with a hard look. She looked the
blonde in the eye, reached out and pulled a chair out for the blonde.
"Sit." She stated and the blonde did as asked setting her books
down on the table. Nervously her eyes traveled from one person to
another at the table.

Kate gently lifted
Addison from her lap and turned so she was facing Alex, Eliot did the
same with Kathy. Everyone set down what they were doing and looked at
the blonde. Alex suddenly felt as if she was being interrogated and
nervously smiled then looked over to Olivia who was watching her
calmly. "If we find in any way that you're lying and this is a
ploy to get accepted by Carmichael we will not be happy. Do you
understand?" Olivia coolly asked starting their interrogation.

"Yes, I under-"

"Yes or no only got
it." Kate spoke and Alex nodded.

"You do understand
that we don't take kindly to two-facers or backstabbers?" Elliot
asked.

"Yes." Alex stated.

Everyone watched Alex
before looking to each other and nodding in agreement. "Good. Now
we like you Alex. We were more then willing to let you hang out with
us before you went to Abbie's click. We are once again willing to
give you another chance but we don't trust you quite yet that may
take some time. One slip up, one word to Abbie that we find out about
you're going to find this year extremely hard. Understand?" Kate
asked her gazed boring into Alex.

"Yes, I understand."

"Great. Welcome to
the gang, Cabot, enjoy your stay." Kate laughed to break the
tension she then turned to address Olivia. "Now, I got chem. to do
so hand it over, luscious."

"Excuse me?!"
Olivia asked surprised and gave Kate a funny look.

"Oh c'mon, Liv, you
don't actually think I would do chem. do you? Help a girl out
c'mon." Kate pleaded.

Olivia shook her head
and rolled her eyes; she took her chem. from her book and handed it
to Kate. "You better be happy I like you." Kate nodded and
grabbed the work, "Yeah, yeah I know."

"So Ms. Cabot where'd
a beauty like you come from and why are you here?" Munch asked
trying to ease the tension within the group.

Alex cleared her throat
and turned to Munch. "Uh, Boston. My mother sent me here to live
with my aunt after some minor problems back home. I'm actually
quite glad to be here really, it's a nice little town. I feel like
a normal girl here."

"Ha!" Kate jumped,
"You say that now but wait a while, you'll be bored as hell in no
time. It's the middle of fucking nowhere! I mean c'mon what the
hell kind of name is "Brash"? Brash Falls. Hello everyone and
welcome to Brash Falls enjoy you're over bored time here. Plus the
school sucks. Nothing to write home to mommy about."

Alex snorted at the
comment about writing home. "Trust me I don't plan on writing
home any time soon." She whispered just loud enough for everyone to
hear. "Well, Kate is it?" Kate nodded. "If you hate it here so
much then why are you here? If you don't mind me asking?"

The shorthaired girl
narrowed her eyes at the blonde and chuckled while shaking her head.
"My shitty ass parents decided to move here when I was in eighth
grade. My mom got a job working for a broker up here at the boarder.
Before that I grew up on long Island. But now I don't talk to my
'rents; they threw me out last year been living with my girl,
Addison, her mom and brother for the past year."

Alex scrutinized the
girl for a moment before quizzically asking, "you're parents,
they threw you out because you're gay, am I right? Feel free not to
answer." Kate only glared at the blonde and her lip curled back in
a small snarl before turning back to her work. It was actually
surprising that anyone would have to guts to ask Kate that very
question. Most people shrink in fear at the mention of Kate's name
but then again Alex wasn't known for backing down or cowering in
fear. It was also surprising that Alex even got the response she did
from Kate since the only people that were close to Kate were Olivia,
Addison, and Elliot. Alex sighed and turned to look over to her left
and found herself looking into the warmest chocolate brown eyes she'd
ever seen. The blonde's stomach flipped as she continued to look
into Olivia's eyes, while the brunette found herself falling into
Alex's crystal blue eyes. Olivia blushed and quickly looked away as
if she was caught with her hand in the cookie jar and went back to
work.

Alex grinned as she
noticed the reaction she had on the brunette. Still grinning she
moved her chair closer to the Olivia and asked in a low seductive
tone, "Since I'm new here and don't really know my way around I
was hoping you could tell me who the best guide would be. Do you know
anyone the would be willing to help a poor girl like me?"

Olivia swallowed hard
at the blonde's tone and the feel of her body so close. Olivia was
extremely glad the blonde had given up being Abbie's groupie to
hang with her friends. This also meant that Olivia might have a
chance with the blonde especially after how she just heard the blonde
talk to her. Truth be told Olivia never really wanted to hate the
blonde cause really she liked her. She figured it wouldn't be long
until the blonde told Abbie to pisses off but Liv didn't wanna
admit that until it happened and not that it did she was extremely
happy. Taking a deep breath to calm her nerves Olivia turned and
smiled at Alex. "I, uh, I could show you around if you like."

"That's sounds very
nice of you I'd really appreciate it. It'll also give us some
time to get to know each other." The seductive whisper wasn't
lost on Olivia especially when she felt Alex place a hand on her
leather-clad arm. Closing her eyes to regain her senses Olivia took
yet another deep breath only this time she inhaled the sent of Alex's
perfume and all thoughts and abilities were lost.

"Uh, I-I can show you
around school today and after school I can show you around town if
you'd like." Alex nodded and flashed a flirtatious smile to the
shorthaired brunette. "G-Great, uh, m-meet me by the main office
after eighth period, ok?"

"Thank you, you're
a life saver, Liv." Alex flashed Olivia her prized sexy smile and
ran her hand down the leather arm to the brunette's hand before
removing it completely and turning back to her schoolwork. "Uh,
a-and if you'd like," Olivia's said shyly while playing with
her pencil. "You could join the gang at band practice tonight at
Kate's, that way you can meet everyone else."

"I'd love to
Olivia." Alex smiled running the tips of her fingers over Olivia's
hand and locking eyes with the brunette. Olivia's heart skipped a
beat when the blonde goddess said her name. She felt herself falling
father under the blonde's spell and not wanting to stop. Olivia
nodded and grinned when Alex turned back to her work. She felt pretty
damn good now and nothing was gonna stop that feeling. She went back
to her work with the thoughts of hanging out with the bright blonde
after school.

The bell rang and the
group of friends plus Alex stood and headed to their next class. Once
in the hallway Kate turned to Alex, "Hey Blondie what's ya next
class?" Alex pulled out her schedule and found what she had fifth
period. She looked up to the group and said, "Uh, business law."

The group beamed and
nodded while pulling Alex toward their next class. "Great you have
class with us…again. Well actually just Kate, El, Ser, Addy, and
me. Fin and Munch have to work for their community service, gotta
have a certain amount of hours per year. I'm sure you'll be doing
it by the end of the year every one does. " Liv stated with a
chuckle. "You taking it for college credits too?"

"Yeah, I need the
credits if I want to go on to law school. I'm sure I could use them
for extra you know." Alex responded happily while following the
group through the hectic hallways.

"That's why Ser,
Addy, El, Liv, and me are taking the class." Kate spoke up. "Liv,
El and myself wanna be cops, while Addy and Ser wanna be
lawyers…prosecutors to be exact. How 'bout you?"

"Prosecutor, I like
the law and I'm looking forward to working up to a seat in the DA's
office. Greatest ambition is to be a District Attorney. Do some good
in the world you know." Alex said cheerily as the walked into Ms.
Tasker's fifth period Business and Personal Law class.

"Everyone wants to do
good in the world." Addison stated with a chuckled while walking
over to one of the desks. "It's a good thing. We need people to
do that."

"My girl's one of
the intelligent ones can't ya tell." Kate laughed while following
after Addison. "Well all I can say is, damn!" Elliot spoke up.
"Three friends wanna be prosecutors and the rest want to be cops,
freaky shit if you ask me." He chuckled setting his books down then
turned to Kate. "Damn this class is so boring. Hey Kate." The
shorthaired girl looked up from her girlfriend, "Yeah." Elliot
held up a triangular piece of paper, "You up for a game of table
football?" Kate grinned, "Oh hell yeah you're going down buddy.
This class is so not boring!"

"That's cause you
two don't pay attention and fool around." Olivia accused. "It'll
be a cold day in hell when you two pay attention."

"Yeah, Yeah,
whatever. Anyway, Alex, welcome to Law class. Where I am the
entertainment and make the class fun." Kate said spreading her arms
out in a grand gesture.

"Oh will you come off
it you're not that cool, Katie." Serena snapped for the first
time since leaving the cafeteria and set her book down on the table
before taking a seat.

Kate grinned evilly and
teased Serena, "Serry-Ser, what's with all the bitch-y-ness? I
feel a lot of…sexual…tension coming from you. Want some help with
that?" Serena glared at Kate and was about to respond when Kate
yelped. "Ow! Baby, what was that for?" She rubbed her arm where
her girlfriend had just whacked her real good and looked momentarily
stunned. "Oh don't act stupid you know why I hit you!" Addison
growled and walked over to take a seat next to Olivia, Serena and
Alex. Kate watched her go, her jaw-dropping opening in surprise.
Quickly she reached out to try and grab her girlfriend's arm. "Oh
c'mon baby I was joking. You know Liv's suppose to take care of
that…itch…for Serena." Kate laughed and El joined in while the
rest of the girls shook their heads in annoyance.

"Kate, knock it off
ok that's really getting fucking old!" Olivia said angrily.
"Yeah." Everyone chorused in agreement. "So there you have it,
find something new ok." Kate narrowed her eyes at Olivia but before
she could respond Mrs. Tasker's came in and started class. All
during class Olivia, Serena, Addison, and Alex paid attention while
yet again Elliot and Kate fooled around, cracked jokes, and played
table football…. some things never change.
